Walk Dance - Slavster 1989

Oliver Curry was a famous operatic tenor, thirty years ago. Through a series of unfortunate incidents he developed acute aphasia and lost the use of his voice. He still communicates with a 1983 Dec Talk DTC 01 Speech Synthesiser. He has written a book about his experiences called My Voice and Me, which particularly refers to his role of Canio in Leoncavallo's Pagliacci. He is currently on a world-wide tour promoting his book. He speaks as best he can from a piano, aided by his wife, Maria. 
(Music by Paul Barker after Leoncavallo; text by Chris and George Newell; Paul Barker, piano with Maria Bovino, Soprano)
